        • Evolutionary Genomics

I am a postdoctoral fellow in the Biology Department and the Institute of Computational Molecular Science, working in Professor Carnevale’s lab. My research spans evolutionary genomics, polymer physics, and computational modeling. I collaborate closely with graduate students and colleagues to address fundamental questions in both biological and physical systems.
On the biological side, I am developing geometrical and statistical models for evolutionary inference, with the goal of improving our understanding of phylogenetic relationships among proteins. On the physical side, I design and apply deep learning models to investigate the structure of dense polymer systems, with applications to soft matter and materials science.
